Preference for Redistribution during Structural Change with Labor Mobility Frictions

Krzysztof Makarski and Joanna Tyrowicz

No 15613, IZA Discussion Papers from Institute of Labor Economics (IZA)

Abstract: Thorough structural change occurs periodically across world economies. In a parsimonious overlapping generation setup with political economy, we present a novel result: structural change not only exacerbates the rise in inequality but also strengthens the preference for redistribution. Labor mobility frictions are instrumental in this mechanism.
